Hibernation problem on a Thinkpad A31p

[gmitsos]

Hallo,

I am an owner of an IBM thinkpad A31p. The operating system is Windows XP. The problem I am facing, is that the system goes to hibernation only once. The second time if I switch it on and try to put it on hibernation or sleep mode again the system hangs. Actually, it is stalled in the blue screen trying to suspend or hibernate and never succeds to.

Do you have any ideas on the aforementioned problem ?

Thank you

First - reinstall the hibernation utilities and recreate your hibernation file.

Maybe I have misunderstood something,
a) Is the hibernation partition used under Windows XP ???
b) The hibernation utilities, provided by IBM, are for windows NT-2000 and not XP

I will search a little bit in IBM’ site to find the guidelines again !!! 

If this is please note the comment:
"Only Windows 98/98 SE and NT 4.0 are supported."

It's should be the ACPI utilities and power management GUi. Once reinstalled there is a power option under XP. There is a hibernate tab with information on the hibernaton file. You can uncheck it to delete the file. There is no partition like the older thinkpads - it's to a file on the file system.

Verify the BIOS settings too.
